About

I´m a Biologist from the Valparaiso area in Chile, and an avid birdwatcher with field experience since 1978, when I was ten.
I´ve traveled all along the country from the northern Altiplano to Cape Horn, also the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland islands since 1992, and some areas in southern Argentina. I use a TASCAM DR-07 with a shotgun microphone.
I work as a birding guide and do independent research.

Two birds on the ground 1m from each other, one (male?) singing out this (courtship?) song to the other (female?) while chasing it around in brief, short flights in the same place. Song consisting of one complex 6-note part followed by 3-4 regularly spaced short chirps and a fast 3-note closing part, then the pattern repeats itself all over again from the beginning. Birds took off together heading in the same direction.
